Product Information

Full details

The RST Pro Series GP D3O Motorcycle Gloves are premium racing-style gauntlets engineered for sport riders and track enthusiasts who prioritize maximum impact protection and tactile control. Featuring high-grade kangaroo leather and integrated D3O smart-armor technology, these gloves offer elite abrasion resistance and energy dissipation; however, their specialized track-focused design means they are significantly more rigid and less suited for casual, long-distance touring compared to standard textile gloves.

FAQs

Are these gloves suitable for daily commuting?

While protective, they are race-oriented. They may feel restrictive for long daily commutes compared to casual leather or textile gloves.

What is D3O armor?

D3O is a non-Newtonian material that is soft and flexible under normal movement but locks together instantly upon impact to absorb energy.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No. Machine washing will damage the natural kangaroo leather and compromise the integrity of the protective armor.

Why is the little finger attached to the ring finger?

This is a 'bridge' or 'conjoined' design used to prevent the little finger from breaking or dislocating during a slide.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles. Consult the RST sizing chart as racing gloves often have a snugger, performance-oriented fit.

Troubleshooting

Gloves feel stiff when new

This is normal for high-spec racing gloves. Wear them for 2-3 shorter rides to allow the kangaroo leather and D3O to adapt to your hand shape.

Touchscreen responsiveness is poor

These are high-protection gloves not specifically designed for digital devices. For optimal safety, remove the glove to operate mobile devices.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elite-level impact protection with D3O integration
  • Lightweight and durable kangaroo leather
  • Excellent feedback and feel for throttle and brake control
  • Track-ready safety features including finger bridging and palm sliders

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period due to rigid protective components
  • Less comfortable for all-day touring compared to touring-specific gloves
  • Higher price point reflecting premium materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper fit is crucial for the safety features of these gloves to function correctly. Ensure the fingers reach the end of the glove without excessive pressure on the webbing between fingers. Use the dual-strap system to secure the wrist firmly, ensuring the glove cannot be pulled off over the palm. For care, avoid machine washing or soaking the kangaroo leather. Use a specialized leather cleaner for the exterior and a damp cloth for the interior. If the gloves get soaked in the rain, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat will crack and harden the natural leather.
